Flights to Si Bua Ban, Lamphun from NT$2,749

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Si Bua Ban could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Si Bua Ban, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
